Ingredients
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ½ tbsp minced ginger
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp Sriracha
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 1 small pineapple
- sliced green onions for serving
- white rice for serving
Instructions
- In a large, non reactive bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken thighs and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but preferable overnight.
To Grill the Chicken
- Prepare the grill for cooking over an indirect heat. Grill the pineapple rings until they have taken on a bit of caramelization. This should take a few minutes on each side. Set aside around the outside of the grilling area to keep warm.
- Add the chicken, working in batches and basting with the remaining marinade often until the chicken is cooked through and is coated in a sticky glaze. Each piece should take about 15 minutes.
- Serve the chicken and pineapple with white rice and sliced green onions.
To Cook the Chicken on an Indoor Griddle
- Heat a large lined skillet or griddle pan over a medium high heat. Cook the pineapple rings until they have taken on a nice bit of caramelization, this should take a few minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm place to keep warm.
- Add the chicken, working in batches and basting with the remaining marinade often until the chicken is cooked through and is coated in a sticky glaze. Each piece should take about 15 minutes.
- Serve the chicken and pineapple with white rice and sliced green onions.
Notes
- Use bottled pineapple juice from a carton, rather than fresh.
- If you make the marinade in a reactive metal bowl the pineapple juice will cause your chicken to take on a slightly metallic taste.
